<VV> Frank Winchell Memorial Corvair Scholarship

[Mike Kost]

In a private E-Mail Sarah told me that it was limited to Seniors and 
first year students. This appears to indicate that as long as you are in 
your senior year or beyond and attending college in the fall you would 
be eligible. My son is studying Mechanical Engineering (currently at 
community college but returning to UMR in the fall). Would he be eligible?
